and even humor inherent when man meets bear. These bear tales
are so intriguing--so unbelievable--they often read like fiction. |

AMONG THE TLINGITS
by Carrie M. Willard
Young Carrie M. Willard and her missionary husband established their
mission in crude quarters at what later became the community of Haines,
among a subgroup of the Tlingits known as the Chilkats. An adventurous
spirit and religious zeal carried them through continual challenges
and hardships -- raising two toddlers in the wilds, life-threatening
illnesses and lack of food, isolation from their own kin and culture,
and the weaving and maintenance of a delicate interface between themselves
and the people they struggled both to understand and to change. |
